# Book-Inspired Timber-Lined Cabins Tina Bergman Designs the New Hat House in the Forest By Amy Duong | Published 2023-01-11 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hat-house References: [dezeen](https://www.dezeen.com/2023/01/10/tina-bergman-hat-house-pine-timber-cabin-sweden/) & [tinabergman](https://www.tinabergman.com/)  London-based architect Tina Bergman designs the new Hat House located in the [Swedish Mountains](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/villa-ottsj). It is a [timber cabin](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-house) that is complete with a [steep pine-clad roof](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frame-house-1) and named after a Swedish children's book, where a group of children lives inside a giant hat. The cabin measures out to be 100 square feet and it is home to a family of five with their dog. Bergman speaks about the design project, "I traveled to the site with my clients on an unusually warm weekend at the end of May: met with that intense green of new spring birch leaves and a nearly complete silence, our aim was to find a spot to place the building. We found it soon: a naturally formed clearing, withdrawn from the forest road, with views to the mountains and a lake to the south and west, and with yellow orchids growing in the east."
